How long does the back light stay on? Can you customize it?

Stays on unless you cut it off. You can change the color of the backlight to whatever you wish. Three presets. Cannot change color of individual keys.

Back light is toggled on/off with a button on the keyboard. As far as I know, there is no way to time it. You can customize the colors and switch them with the profile and macro keys.

The back light stays on as long as the computer is on. It's customizable for three different colors, one for M1 M2 & M3.

The backlight stays on until you turn off the computer or you turn it off with the keyboard button. However, the lights are customisable with the included software, so all you would have to do is use a script to turn it off after some time. But it's probably just easier to push the button.

yes you can customize the colors which is awesome. Also, the light stays on as long as your computer is on. I had a similar logitech keyboard (older version) and the light lasted at least 4 years.if you are using this for gaming it is by far the best ( IMO ) as all the shortcut keys are on the left side and that still enables you to type easily. hope this helps.

The back light stays on as long as the keyboard is plugged in... It doesn't turn off... And you can customize it

My gf has not finished it yet since we have been traveling. We would also be interested in hanging it with a back light as well.

You can set the light to come on when you hit any button. Stays back lite for about 2 seconds. No setting the time it stays back lite

The light stays illuminated for 30secs once activated by motion. There is no adjustment for the duration. I hope this helps.

This light has adjustments to make the light stay on for about 20 seconds or a few minutes. Not real bright but enough to see pretty good. Well worth the price.

Yes, about that long if you have the backlight on. I discovered that turning the backlight off (F1 key) will allow it to last all day on a single charge.

Yes. I have never needed the backlight function, the screen is clear in daylight and bright sunlight when I ride. If needed a quick press of the power button, or any other button, gives a screen backlight. Options are off, stay on, 15 sec (default),30 sec, 1 min, 2 min. You can also alter contrast and backlight level. I expect use of backlight will reduce battery life.

Yeah, lights can be customized to be any color, any combination of colors, and completely off. Checkout this link for more information on MSI steel series backlit keyboards. Cheers! http://event.msi.com/nb/faq/q7.html

Yes, I think there was a switch to set how long you want the light to stay on when motion is detected.

note that battery life is specified at minimum backlight ; i ran mine for 5 hr 25 min , then i recharged even tho it was still going. i imagine those who got 4 hr. were using the default backlight setting.

We do not have a copy of the instructions because this item has sold out. Please verify the instructions are for the same model number. Also please try the backlight feature in the evening because it may not be strong enough to see in strong daylight. Thanks.

In the settings menu there is a "Backlight shut off" option where you can adjust it to any where from 1 minute to "Never."

You can select it by pressing the left above and below buttons at the same time. The light will appear for just a few seconds, it is not permanent.

Not that I've found so far. It does have a back light for when you need a little extra light, like for at night, but it only lasts for a few seconds then goes out.

there is adjustment to how long this can stay on. It can shut off after a few minutes or stay on for hours. I keep tinkering with the adjustment, because they have stayed on all night. They can go off completely, and come on with movement. They can go down to a dimmer light so there is enough light to see on my porch, but not bother neighbors - and again go to bright with movement. Or just on for hours. But you do have to have the proper bulbs for this to do the dimmer and changes. If you use the wrong bulbs I believe they don't do the motion thing, but just stay on continuously.

Backlighting is pretty good, most of the keys are easy to see in the dark. It is a function button that toggles it on or off and it stays that way as long as it is charged.

It doesn't look like there's anyway for it to be tuned off and I have by mistake left it charging for a few days in a row and still saw the light on. Hope this helped.
